Thumbs down on Eudora 8.0.0b3

Monday, May 26th, 2008

You know what the new Eudora is?

Thunderbird in a Eudora skin.

I went back to the old Eudora 7.1.0.9 and am much happier.

It (the older Eudora) can still be downloaded from www.eudora.com.

I’d avoid the Eudora 8.xs until they give us a REAL new Eudora. Especially you Mac users out there.

Eudora 8.0.0b3 Released

Monday, May 26th, 2008

For those of you who hate Outlook and like user-friendly email programs, Eudora has always been a great choice. Unfortunately, a little while ago they shut down the commercial version of Eudora to begin a Mozilla-based open source version of Eudora.

I’m pleased to say that the beta of the new Eudora has been released — Eudora 8.0.0b3 — and appears to be relatively stable (although I have only been using it for a short time).

Anyway, if you are interested, it is available for download here.

Remember, it’s only a beta, and while I haven’t encountered any bugs yet, I’m sure they’re there. But it’s good to see a Eudora 8.0 come out, beta or not.
